I'm not familiar with the Library Node Editor Add-on...I'll have to take a look when I can.

Don't know where to post..
AnimatedPoster
Added keywords to ArtworkBeef
Got an KyraDB account
Deleted all animpo and animfa
Let AB redownload missing artwork
AnimPo are downloaded as PNG's and don't animate at all
Shown is the 1st frame of the (original) GIF (?).
Changed manually to an animated GIF, and it doesn't play too.
Tested both files on my PC. PNG - static frame, GIF - animated
@rschiks are you shure to have animatedposters as PNG's?
@latts9923 could it be due latest kodiupdate? needs skin update, maybe?

First time i forgot to enter my UserID in AB settings and got an error fetching from KyraDB.
Hmmm

Are you sure it’s not character art?
@chrissix? Do you know something about this?
2019-07-12, 23:16
@Gothico
Just be aware that animated artworks do not work across networks. The files have to be saved to local drives, not smb, nfs, ftp etc

Nope
AB gives me
And it should be
CharacterArt is there too and working fine but i edited it manually and not fetched through AB
no attachments allowed?
@Karellen
do the files have to be right there where kodi (local on my Odroid) is or in the movie directory? those are indeed on my NAS....
if so, than there is a script missing that copies the animatedposters to a local directory like the artworkorganizer does it with fanart...
AB gives me
Code:
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)-animatedposter.pngAnd it should be

@chrissix? Do you know something about this?
But in this case, I did not understand where the problem lies.
Is it a skin problem now, ArtworkBeef problem, or KyraDB problem?
If there is no skin problem there are separate threads for it.
I tested the new ArtworkBeef KyraDB integration very extensively on 2 systems. Everything works as it should or as intended by rmrector.
It is very remarkable that it is only the first release with this integration and work that good functional.

read the full first post here to understand how animated stuff is really working link
EDIT: cloverfield movie on KyraDB https://www.kyradb.com/movie/414/images
EDIT 2: tested out, animatedposter for this movie scraped succesful from KyraDB and is a GIF
But for some reason it was overlooked in the ArtworkBeef batch scrape process, otherwise i would have had it in it before.
EDIT 3: You're right! The batch function for animated poster does not work, i have confused it with the scan in count of the already existing.
Animated fanart in bulk works (but some arts are left out). I hope @rmrector patches that soon.

Hmpf.
So why omg?
I would say 50% from kodi user share theire movies over lan (nas).
And is was working perfect.
Skinhelper from mveld did everything, but the service is out-of-date or service.
But you ignored my request.
MQ uses the artworkmanager /-organizer to fetch/cache movie-fanart to show up in the mainmenu.
So you, rschicks, mrector and ronie could do a little bit brainstorming and align all addons, to have a local animated-folder, like skinhelperservice has/had.
With it, animated stuff could get higher in priority.
Just an idea...
Still to figure out why i get png's and not gif's..
I'll try to reinstall AB tomorrow. Its late.

Now, how do users, like me, get in the benefit with animations like in older versions with skinhelperservice?
It would be easy to use the functions of the artworkorganizer addon to copy all (named) animated-posters and fanart to a local folder and the skin is looking for it there...
Not?

@latts9923
a new API database project is on the way -> [ARTWORK PROJECT] Character Posters (aka Extraposter)
Cause my skin mod has it's origin in this skin i hope in will be the first implementing it.
It corresponds to the artwork type poster. Essentially, it is not an own artwork type, but due to its own characteristics and content preparation again.
A usual normal poster is unique in design and layout. In contrary a Character poster has in count more posters from a movie uniform in design and structure.
A movie can have several poster sets to choose from, and in this set, the posters have a fixed position in order.
Through this concept the posters in the skin are also useful in integer mode. It is intended, to use in a multiimage sideshow or to scroll through (e.g. in dialogvideoinfo) and much more.
Concept and the same rules apply as with fanart#

Gah...I swapped my home router and spent way too many hours trying to change all the locations using outdated IP addresses, so gave up and wound up reinstalling my music and video DBs and also this Mod and need to (re)ask newbie questions after using this skin all this time. At least I saved and imported all of my the skin settings from backup (phew!).
Would someone please remind me what the correct settings are for allowing multiple fanart images to cycle in Music Fullscreen? I've used Slideshow+Viewing forever but can't seem to get my existing extrafanart to cycle. I've installed all the Artwork Addons and checked all my settings but can't get them to work unless I'm set on Fanart instead. Is it also best to set to Default Fanart or Extrafanart?
Where is the setting to display fanart in original aspect? (not stretched to 16:9)
For some odd reason the default Main Menu images are not showing...where to find them?
Thanks to anyone with the patience to answer...
